Intellectual Property Team

Carol holds a Ph.D. in Genetics from Stanford University and a J.D.
magna cum laude from University of Puget Sound (now Seattle University)
School of Law. She was a biomedical scientist in the academic world for many
years before earning her law degree. Her legal focus is patents and their
strategic integration with business goals. In private law practice, she often
counselled clients on freedom to operate issues and saw the need for more
pragmatic learning tools about patents. Carol was the Director of Intellectual
Property and Chief Legal Officer for Cambia until 2004 and oversaw the creation
of the Cambia IP Resource. She has now returned to private practice
(www.cougarlaw.com) and is retained as a
consultant for Cambia.
